Flight simulation modelling of an aircraft is required for various purposes including performance analysis, flight control design, and flying qualities analysis. The Saab 340B is a twin turboprop transport aircraft designed to seat 30-36 passengers. A Saab 340B has been modified to operate as a flying laboratory for teaching and research purposes at the Cranfield University, United Kingdom. This paper demonstrates a component build-up approach towards creating a simulation model using the data available from the aircraft manufacturer. This approach has previously proven successful in establishing the fundamental working principles of flight dynamics for a Jetstream J31 aircraft. Empirical estimates of the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the aircraft are calculated from the aircraft's geometrical parameters using Engineering Sciences Data Unit (ESDU) data sheets. The contribution of this study is a systematic approach to developing an aerodynamic model using ESDU and comparing the results with the collected flight test data across the entire flight envelope for the aircraft.
